These Facials Will Make You Glow

When the weather’s dark and dreary, your skin probably is, too. But why let the lack of Vitamin D affect your complexion? Take matters into your own hands—or better yet, let a facialist do it for you.

Glow facials are the fastest fixes for sad skin days. In just an hour, these brightening treatments bring life back to your lackluster face! So today, we’ve rounded up three of the best ones in the metro. We swear, they’ll take you from dull and gloomy to drop-dead glowgeous.
THE FACIAL: Skin Rejuvenating Facial with 24K Gold Mask and Diamond Peel
THE CLINIC: Aesthetic Institute of the Philippines (San Juan)

Serums and creams can only do so much. But a 24-karat gold facial is a skin transformation to behold. Conducted by San Juan’s finest dermatology clinic, this luxurious service visibly reverses the effects of stress.
Expect 45 minutes of total bliss! The facial includes a deep cleanse, a facial massage to improve blood circulation, and a comedone extraction to clear out your pores. Then, your skin will be treated to a painless laser to improve texture and a gold mask for a major glow-up. The finale: a diamond peel, A.K.A. your skin’s exfoliating BFF. Together, these high-tech treatments buff away dead cells and gently lift the face. Expect youthful, radiant skin that lights up the room.

If your skin is peppered with spots, this luminizing facial will be your saving grace. It’s meant especially for sensitive and acne-prone faces, so it won’t lead to another breakout. Designed to clarify blemished skin, this treatment paves away roughness and brightens your visage. It only takes 60 minutes—or less!
The facial begins with the ubiquitous cleanse and a special detoxifying steam. You may opt to get any blackheads or whiteheads removed by your technician. Then, you’ll be treated to a balancing mist, moisturizing face massage, and refreshing mask. Formula snob? You’ll be please to know that this facial exclusively uses Yllume products. No parabens, mineral oils, or triggering scents! In short, your sensitive face is safe and sound (and soon-to-be glowing).

Prepping for a big event or dying to be pampered? This brightening facial is just the thing. It’s a one-hour sesh of skin-glowing treats and good vibes! Sit back and relax as you get a dullness-eliminating scrub, color-reviving face massage, and ultra-soothing steam. If you secretly watch Dr. Pimple Popper videos, you’ll appreciate the meticulous comedone extraction and pore-tightening laser that follows. Every facial culminates with a Korean mask treatment—because no one does glow like SoKo.
Since it removes all hidden impurities, this service instantly freshens your face and shows off healthier skin. And with a straightforward name like “glow facial,” how can you resist? Do it once a month for maximum radiance!
